Virus Alert
By Richard O’Brien
CSIRO scientists have announced they have discovered a new and virulent strain of the Hanson virus infecting Australian fauna. Following a major outbreak in 1996 the virus was eventually brought under control with the introduction of the Common Sense vaccine in 1998. Despite this, scientists have so far been unsuccessful in their attempts to completely eradicate the Hanson virus due to its ability to remain dormant for years while waiting for an opportunity to once again spread.
The virus is usually contracted when fauna comes into regular contact with horse or cattle dung. While most species of Australian fauna are susceptible to the virus – often resulting in prolonged periods of nausea and regular bouts of déjà vu – it is particularly prevalent in the subspecies Raciust Arseholus, better known as the common wanka.
The wanka can be found throughout most parts of Australia, often congregating in mobs around Andrew Bolt’s blog, talk-back radio shows and proposed locations for mosques. Possessing a generally obnoxious disposition, the wanka can become aggressively territorial towards many introduced species, despite being an introduced species itself. Wankas often adorn themselves in nationalistic paraphernalia to gain acceptance into the mob. Despite their jingoistic appearance, wankas spend most of their time carping on about how shit the country’s become, to anyone who’ll listen.
The introduction of the Federal Government’s Bigots Protection Act 2014 has led to a sharp increase in wanka numbers which, combined with recent outbreaks of Islamaphobia, have helped create ideal conditions for the Hanson virus to spread. This problem is further compounded by the fact that wankas are generally unresponsive to either the Common Sense or Rational Discussion vaccines.
A spokesperson for the CSIRO says scientists now believe they are close to a breakthrough in their quest to eradicate the virus.
“Despite its obdurate nature the Hanson virus is dependent on large doses of media exposure to survive”, the spokesperson said. “For the sake of maintaining Australia’s diverse fauna we are now asking all journalists in Australia to wash their hands thoroughly of all topics likely to be infected with the Hanson virus”.

It`s worse than thought and the virus has morphed into this

There was no vaccine!
The virus was simply absorbed by certain politicians, slightly mutated and then released back into the public. Of course it was renamed in the process.
Brilliant article, Richard, but have to point out that the virus does infect flora as well as fauna – a massive load was dumped onto previously arable farming land resulting in vast open cuts across the landscape.
Pauline first said that we are being swamped by Asians,but now it’s Muslims and Lambie has also joined in the chorus as well and i just wonder who the next poor bastards are ready to be demonised by these racist nut jobs.
Hope the vaccine has some “left and right wing, genes”. Might help stop a lot of us being so Anal.

@brickbob… Muslims aren’t a race. So it’s not racism to demonise and vilify them. And that makes it okay… apparently.
BTW.. I’ve seen a couple of articles in the Australian press this week… about European countries receiving their “first wave” of Syrian refugees. That sort of language doesn’t help…
I am fully aware that Muslims are not a race,but these two women i mentioned are still racist, bigots and homophones.
@brickbob… um… oh dear… it appears my sarcasm was laid on a bit heavy… Again.
It seems not even a Rhodes scholar can stop this virus in fact the Rhodes scholar has been killed.LOL.
